Language Learning in the Summer: Choose from 22 Languages

Sarah Batelka Hochschulkommunikation und -marketing
Universität Bremen

    22 languages and many different course formats: On April 7, the Language Centre of the Universities in the Land of Bremen (SZHB) will start the summer semester with its range of courses. The program includes semester and intensive courses as well as paid education leave and is aimed at both beginners and advanced learners.

    The new semester is beginning – and it is accompanied by an extensive range of language courses at the SZHB. Courses in 22 languages with varying levels and formats are offered to students and employees of Bremen's universities as well as external participants who wish to gain, expand, or refresh language skills.

    Flexible and Diverse: Courses for All Levels with Varying Formats

    Beginner and advanced language learners alike can find a suitable course to fit their schedule with the semester and intensive courses, paid education leave, as well as hybrid formats offered. The university-specific language certificate UNIcert® can also be obtained in many languages. Independent learners have several possibilities for support as well.

    Multi-language course formats are also being offered again – for example, Croatian and Polish are still offered in combination as a double pack. There are special courses for those who want to prepare for an academic stay in Italy, and courses for heritage languages such as Kurdish, Polish, Russian, and Turkish, which help students to develop the language skills learned in a family setting for use in an academic context.

    Specialized English Courses

    There are several subject-specific courses offered in English, among these are courses for natural sciences and engineering as well as for economics, and these often provide the chance to obtain a B2 or C1 language certificate.

    In addition to the courses, the SZHB also offers a host of possibilities for independent language learning. These include guided self-learning in the tutoring program, together with others in a language tandem, or in our language cafés, as well as tutorials (e.g. on English grammar) and workshops on learning strategies in the Language Self-Study Center. Those who wish to improve their writing skills in English can take advantage of the Writer’s Help Desk, an individual, one-on-one consultation by appointment. Most of these additional services are provided to students free of charge. ECTS points can be obtained in the tutoring and tandem programs.
